Conclusion: Better acknowl- edgement of the pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical similarities, multiorgan complications of COVID-19 or other viral infections as dengue and human immunodeficiency viruses along with the action of inflammatory cells inducing the Kounis syndrome could identify better immunological approaches for prevention, treatment of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as post-COVID-19 vaccine adverse reactions.

Introduction The latest threat to global health is the ongoing outbreak of the respiratory disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, named COVID-19, firstly recognized in December 2019 in the city of Wuhan, in Hubei province, China [1]. COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, constitutes one of the deadliest pandemics inmodern history. In a modern overpopulated world of almost 8 billion people, characterized by dramatic changes in environmental conditions, in conjunction with rapid development of intercontinental transportation and inadequate global public health mechanisms, viral diseases with significant infectivity may turn into global health threats. Whereas, the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hematologic, mucocutaneous, respiratory, neurological, renal and testicular manifestations, and further complications that concern the whole human pathology, can provide also the substrate for elucidation of the disease pathophysiology. The COVID-19 pandemic has been spreading worldwide, including to all of Europe and the United States. Careful identification of any similarities regarding clinical manifestation and subsequent multiorgan complications could provide a better acknowledgement of the underlying pathophysiology and trigger mechanisms, elucidating potential prevention and therapeutic strategies. 2. Methods A literature search was conducted on the PubMed, MedLine, Embase databases and Google and updated on 28 February 2021 with the keywords “COVID-19”, “Kounis syndrome”, “cytokine storm”, “SARS-CoV-2”, “SARS-CoV”, “MERS”, “allergy”, “anaphy- laxis”, “coronaviruses”, “mast cells”. Bibliographic search was also undertaken. Articles in this review needed to be pub- lished up to end of June 2021, available as full text in English, categorized as original research, reviews, meta-analyses or letters to the editor. Database screening was closed on 28 June 2021. Titles and abstracts were reviewed to verify these criteria. The articles were read in full if all inclusion requirements were present or if this remained unclear. Searching references included in the manuscripts was an additional literature. The ab- stracts were scanned to assess their appropriateness to be included in this narrative review. 3. Results 3.1. Virology and Origin Coronaviruses are enveloped, positive single-stranded RNA viruses (+)RNA) with a genome of 27–32 kb. COVID-19 belongs to the beta-coronavirus genera, while evolutionary analyses have demonstrated bats and rodents as gene sources [2]. Regarding its origin, theories for laboratory construction have been widely spread through social media, but genetic data are not suggestive of this scenario. The receptor-binding domain in the spike Biomedicines 2021, 9, 959 3 of 22 protein is the most variable part of the coronavirus genome. Genetic manipulations in laboratories have been performed on available viral reverse-genetic systems, allowing researchers to introduce scheduled mutations. However, genetic data clearly reveal that COVID-19 is not derived from any previously used virus backbone, supporting the evi- dence that COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus, originated from natural selection, either in an animal host pre or post zoonotic transfer [3]. Infection is initiated with virus attachment to its cellular receptor on the host cell surface. COVID-19 spike protein (S-protein) binds with the angiotensin-converting en- zyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on the epithelial

[…] The term "Western culture" has come to define the culture of European countries as well as those that definitions have been heavily influenced by European immigration, such as the United States […] Western culture has its roots in the Classical Period of …when, to define, is to the Greco-Roman era and the rise of Christianity in the 14th century.” realise connections and significant overlap ◦ What do we mean by ‘tradition’? ◦ 1a: an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (such as a religious practice or a social custom) ◦ b: a belief or story or a body of beliefs or stories relating to the past that are commonly accepted as historical though not verifiable … ◦ 2: the handing down of information, beliefs, and customs by word of mouth or by example from one generation to another without written instruction ◦ 3: cultural continuity in social attitudes, customs, and institutions ◦ 4: characteristic manner, method, or style in the best liberal tradition GREECE: ANCIENT AND MODERN What we consider ancient Greece was one of the main classical The Modern Greek State was founded in 1830, following the civilizations, making important contributions to philosophy, mathematics, revolutionary war against the Ottoman Turks, which started in astronomy, and medicine.

  • Conference Programme
    7th International Conference on Contemporary Marketing Issues, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, 10- 12 July, 2019 Latest Update 9-7-2019, 15:34 pm PREFACE We welcome you to the 7th “International Conference on Contemporary Marketing Issues ” (ICCMI 2019) organized, this year, by Leeds University Business School and the Alexander Technological Educational Institute (ATEI) of Thessaloniki which recently merged with the International Hellenic University maintaining the name of the latter. The 7th ICCMI is hosted in Heraklion, Crete, from July 10th to July 12th, 2019. The idea to organize this conference goes a long way back but it materialized, for the first time, seven years ago. The 1st ICCMI was held in June 2012 in Thessaloniki, Greece, jointly organized by the ATEI of Thessaloniki along with Bucks New University of the UK. The 2nd ICCMI was held in Athens, Greece, in June 2014, a collaboration of the ATEI with Manchester Metropolitan University. The 3rd ICCMI was organized by ATEI of Thessaloniki and Kingston University of the UK and was held in Kingston, UK, in June 2015. The 4th ICCMI was held in Heraklion, in the beautiful island of Crete, in 2016. In addition the special session in Santorini took place with a very interesting workshop. The 5th ICCMI was jointly organized by Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki and Manchester Metropolitan University and was held in Thessaloniki with a special session in Chalkidiki. The 6th ICCMI was organized again by ATEI and Manchester Metropolitan University and was held in Athens, Greece again last year. During this year’s conference a variety of manuscripts (papers or abstracts) on specific marketing topics will be presented.

  • The International Conference E-Society (ES) 2011 Was Held in Avila, Spain, for the Period of 10 to 13 March, 2011
    The International Conference e-Society (ES) 2011 was held in Avila, Spain, for the period of 10 to 13 March, 2011. This edition aimed to address the key issues regarding the Information Society arena. Also, the conference sought to cover not only technical as well as the non-technical aspects of the Information Society. Once again, the conference was structured along with nine core tracks, covering different aspects related to the Information Society context, such as: eSociety and Digital Divide, eBusiness / eCommerce, eLearning, New Media and E-Society, Digital Services in eSociety, eGovernment /eGovernance, eHealth, Information Systems and Information Management. The e-Society 2011 Conference received 229 submissions from more than 36 different countries. Each submission had been blindly evaluated by an average of four independent reviewers, in order to obtain the final high standard of the accepted submissions. Out of the papers submitted, 42 received blind referee ratings that signified acceptability for publication as full papers, which meant an acceptance rate below 19%, while some others were published as short papers, reflection papers, posters and doctoral papers. The conference, besides the presentation of full papers, short papers, reflection papers, posters and a doctoral consortium also included one keynote presentation by Professor Dr. Zizi Papacharissi, Professor and Head, Department of Communication, University of Illinois-Chicago, USA and a conference tutorial by Professor Paul Nieuwenhuysen, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium. Extended versions of the best papers were selected to be published in the IADIS International Journal on WWW/Internet (ISSN: 1645-7641) and also in the Interactive Technology and Smart Education (ITSE) journal (ISSN: 1741-5659).
